Many moons ago, I mentioned the need for some special features so that
one can more easily create Python using speech recognition. I've got a
fair start on some of the symbol manipulation techniques
(http://blog.esjworks.com) but it counts on the ability to identify and
isolate symbols based on their implied type signature.
From the speaking perspective, there are only a few types of symbols.
Class, method, instance, variable. All of these are relatively difficult
to detect in many circumstances unless a databases Of symbols and their
type signature is maintained.
But if it isn't, all is not lost as long as I can fall back on the
generic "symbol" so I can say things like "choose symbol 4" and have it
select the fourth symbol in the line. Along the same vein, it would be
nice to have the ability to choose an index, a full set of arguments or
in individual argument. Super special would be being able to reduce
scope after you select something like an argument which is a method with
multiple arguments of its own. Being able to select that argument by
name (choose argument 3) and be able to narrow your focus to just that
argument has the potential for being very good for speech use and for
focusing awareness.
How hard would it be to do these things?

Hi Eric,
none of these should be pose serious difficulties, all seems reasonable
for me also in other respects.
Would you mind writing a Blueprint for each feature request?
BTW have a look at Blueprint `second-level-commands'.
Some request of you asked months ago now is realised in the trunk, some
more --reports-- are implemented at components-python-mode
Get it with
bzr branch lp:~a-roehler/python-mode/components-python-mode
As with regard at a possible time-table, let me point though we should
fix some remaining bugs around Unicode, execfile etc. first.
Cheers
Andreas
